TTCRD Nov-Dec 2018 Sneak Peek!

Wednesday, January 31, 2018

Hello, crafters! Today begins a new challenge over at the Papercraft Business Blog! With that said, it's an ANYTHING GOES with the optional theme of Love/Valentine's Day. If you do the optional theme, you win an extra entry! We hope you will join us! Now on to my project:

I wanted to make a different kind of card than I had ever made before. I found this awesome tutorial from a YouTube channel of Maymay Made It! Click HERE. Here is my card:

Of course, I made a few little adjustments for what I wanted, but the concept is the same. I also used vellum inside and a couple of tealights. One tealight might have worked, but hey...the brighter the prettier it became! It was so easy to do and a lot of fun!
Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to join in on our challenges! We'd love to see your creation!

So for my project this week, I am using Pure Innocence. She is one little cutie! This isn't my first time using The Paper Shelter, and I really love them! One thing I like about them, is that you get several images....both pre-colored and non-colored. Plus you get background images. Sometimes you just don't have the time you need to put together a special card for someone special. Normally, I use the black and white image and color it in myself. But this was one of those times where I wasn't able to, after being sick a few days. So, I used all pre-colored.

So here's what I did. I used my Silhouette to cut out the little fairy and butterfly and stickled her. Using the same dimensions, I cut out the whole background with the image already on it, and placed it on a pink cardstock. Once my separated fairy was dry, I mounted her right on top of the background piece using 3D foam. So I actually had two fairy images, one on top of the other. I then mounted her on top of white cardstock and added pearls. Ouila! She was done! Simple, yet the images make a statement!

So there you have it! Let's see what you create! I hope you will join our challenge!

Hello, fellow crafters! Today begins our 2nd Challenge of the New Year over at the Crafty Gals Corner - ANYTHING GOES. But before we go on, just a little reminder here: We are now an every 2 weeks challenge blog. You may post up to 3 entries. For detail challenge rules, please click HERE.
Now on to the fun part....Below is a list of our amazing sponsors for this challenge:

I cut out my wrap card using a setting from the library of my Silhouette. So much easier than cutting by hand, for sure! There are dies that can be used, but since I didn't have any like that, this was the way to go for me. I also cut out my image with the SIL and then colored her with a combination of color markers and Prismacolor pencils. The snowflake to the side of her was filled in with glossy accents and diamond glass glitter. I then added a piece of white cardstock to the inside of the card, placed the image on it, and lastly added washi tape to each side of her.

The last thing I did was to make a "belly band" for the outside of the card to simply hold the folds down in place better. I decorated it with a couple of rhinestones, a poinsettia, and washi tape. And she was done!

I hope you enjoyed this card! And please do stop by Crafty Gals and enter our challenges!

Hello, crafters! Today a new challenge over at Createful Heart Digis & Designs! And once again, it's ANYTHING GOES with an Optional Twist of Add a Heart! I hope you will join us!

So here is my project I'd like to share with you:

For my image, I chose the image Carousel Horse.I've been wanting to do this image for awhile. And here it finally is! I used my Silhouette to print the paper with sentiment on the background. I colored my image using my Prismacolors. I then used my Glossy Accents to give my horse more of the carousel look. I cut out my heart using one of my punches, glossied it up, and added diamond glass glitter. My final touch was to add the flowers.

I hope you will join in the challenges! There's prizes waiting for....could it be you?? :-)

Hi, crafters! Today begins our 2nd challenge over at Papercraft Business! Since this is only our 2nd challenge, here is some important information for you. First, our THEME: We are an Anything Goes Challenge Blog. That means cards, tags, mixed media, etc. We will also have an optional twist. This month's Optional: Anything New for an extra entry to win the prize! This is a monthly challenge, so our 2nd challenge ends January 31st, 2018.

Now let me share with you what I did for this project:

Now, before I go any further, I want to let you know that I got the idea for this card from a YouTube video HERE. The big difference is that I didn't have the slider die cuts, so I just adjusted my card to do it by hand.

I'd like to share with you my video demonstrating what my card does when "in action". CLICK HERE.

I hope that you will join in on our challenge! There are always prizes to be given away!

Blessings, Jeanie Ellis - Scrapbookingmamaw

Since the Theme is an Anything Goes with an Optional Christmas, I chose to do a Christmas. And it came right at the time I was getting ready for a craft purse swap! So I decided to go with the purse as my very first project with the Papercraft Business Challenge Blog! Here it is:

Hello, crafters! Today begins our 1st Challenge of the New Year, 2018 over at Crafty Gals Corner! I can't believe it's here already! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and that you have a blessed New Year! With that said, a little announcement: We are now having one team of Designers, rather than two, and running 2 WEEK CHALLENGES! We hope you'll play along with us for those!

I simply LOVE this image! One of my faves! I colored in my image with markers first, then went over with Prismacolor Pencils. I used a new square die cut to cut out my image, placed it on designer mounting paper and then onto the black base foundation. I added some black gemstones, flowers, and lace for embellishments.

If you haven't checked out Crafty Gals Corner Challenges for winners from last week/blogiversary, be sure to do so! You might be on there!
